Fixing it isn’t the problem. I can always find time to do that! For the most part this year, it will be sat around doing nothing. And it deserves far more than that!

Open to offers (or ideas) is my beloved 1998 300tdi 110. Only considering selling as I am off to Canada for 4+ months next year and will not have the time for it. Mechanically sound except: Likely pinion bearing failure (salisbury axle) happened last week, the day I was collecting the keys...

I think my 265 75 16 (similar pattern to KM2s on rims came to less that 400. Think your looking at circa 65 ea tyre. Great service and very friendly. And they are made from a special lorry composite. So after 15000 miles still look brand new! (Very hard tyres) no problem at all in the wet or...

Beartown Tyres up in the Cheshire area I think. Extremely reasonable. Only ever seen him at the shows. He always sells out!

Chaps, Are we not missing the point here somewhat. I appreciate that we are trying to protect ourselves, but the good lady has asked for help. As we have said so many times before it’s down to the individual to decide whether they are going to help recover. Down to the individual to check...

Please add me and @Grem Cummins 90 and 300tdi 110 An approximate location Warminster, Wiltshire Towing equipment, shackles, ropes, strops and access to a trailer in extremis. Tools Carry vast range of tools in car, spanner’s, sockets,wrenches, fan spanner etc Even more in the garage-...

My brother and I both used Richards. Brilliant service. Good price and quality product. Saw Shielder at the LRO show. Bloke was very friendly and also sells Bulkheads.... can’t comment on quality or service. Seems like they are trying to break in to the market. @Grem thoughts?

@Grem

I did the back door on my 90. Was reasonably straightforward, kit online was cheap. So cheap that it doesn’t matter if you mess it up!

I did my LR last year, my biggest friction being time, I only had 14 days to get it done. I used JGS, Devon 4x4 and then lots of independents around me, but normally it was just who has the part closest, and I’d go and fetch it

Are you certain you want to sell your Land Rover?!

Definitely relevant! They are the most likely to have no idea about what they are doing! After all they are only playing at it! ;)

Couldn’t agree more. Short strop for anchoring to a tree, or another vehicle. Or a robust anchor!

Defender speedos are ropey at best, and a loose indication to what speed you are doing! So I wouldn’t bother swapping it! You’ll learn pretty quick what speeds your doing just based on what noise the engine is making!

I'm using Aviva. Only 350 a year at 24- can't complain

I tried to do similar in Wiltshire. But there wasn't much interest. I emailed a pub that has Land to see whether we could camp but didn't even hear back from them! I think it's like all these things. You need to get it off the ground and word of mouth will do the rest.

I'm buying a house in Shropshire in December. Only to use at weekends and during the holidays. So will be very keen after Christmas if you manage to keep it going!

Take off the plastic trim around the ignition barrel so that you can get at the switch and contacts. Move it into the positions that aren't working and put a Fluke across it. See if you've got 12v at the switch

Muddy bottom is good for being quite tight in places. Especially near the woods! Some of the recoverys required multiple Land Rovers. Some got proper stuck!
